If you want to see your doctor, it is necessary to phone and make an appointment. The nurse
or receptionist will ask you what the problem is and may ask you to describe your symptoms
before she gives you an appointment. If you have an appointment with a doctor and can-
not make it, you must call and cancel. If you call the doctor’s office and it is closed, there will
be an answering service to take your call. If your problem is serious, the doctor will call you
back. If he/she is not available, another doctor will be “on call”. Nowadays, walk-in clinics
are becoming very popular. You do not need an appointment to see a doctor in these clin-
ics. Many people use these for minor problems, particularly on weekends or evenings when
their regular doctor’s office is closed. If you have a very serious medical problem, you can go
directly to the emergency department of your nearest hospital or call an ambulance.
Comprehension - Practice asking and answering the questions with your part-
ner. Then write the answers in the spaces provided.

Drugstores in this country may be very different from pharmacies in your country; drugstores
here usually sell many things besides drugs. You can find paper products such as Kleenex
and toilet paper, as well as soaps, hair products and toothpaste. Most drugstores also carry
greeting cards, wrapping paper, books, magazines, school supplies, chocolates and can-
dies. Many North American drugstores also sell cosmetics and toys. In fact, up until very re-
cently, most drugstores even sold cigarettes!
Of course, the most important product in the drugstore is medicine. There are two basic kinds
of medicines: prescription drugs and non-prescription drugs, which are also called “over-the
counter” drugs. Prescription drugs are stronger than non-prescription drugs. To buy prescrip-
tion drugs, you must have an order or prescription from your doctor. Sleeping pills and anti-
biotics such as penicillin require a prescription. Pharmacies also carry many non-prescription
medicines such as aspirin, cough and cold remedies, ointments and creams for rashes and
sore muscles.
There are many things to remember when taking any kind of drugs:
1. Always read the label and instructions on the bottle.
2. Never exceed the recommended dosage. (Never take more medicine than the label
says. Never take the medicine more often than the label says.)
3. Many drugs have side effects. This means that the medicine will help treat your illness, but
may give you other problems. Some drugs make you drowsy (tired) and you should not
drive a car when taking this kind of medicine. Other drugs may make you nauseated (sick
to your stomach).
4. Never give your prescription drugs to someone else and never take someone else’s.
5. Always keep drugs in a safe place where children cannot get them.
6. Don’t keep old medicine in the house after the expiry date. Get rid of it.
